NITRIC OXIDE BENEFIT FOR INFANTS UNDERGOING CONGENITAL HEART SURGERY (p 1464)
The cardiovascular problems associated with surgery for congenital heart disease in infants may be reduced with the use of postoperative nitric oxide, according to research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Congenital heart disease is present in five to ten per 1000 livebirths. If surgery is required, the most common defects are... view more... (2000-10-25)
Progress in Diabetes Research
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have collaborated with a Cambridge-based biotechnology company to identify the gene responsible for a form of diabetes. The team working on the discovery believe it could eventually lead to the development of new drugs to treat the condition.
